Grant Legacy Group opens its Oak Park flagship and the surrounding block for a free day of plain-language education on a subject many families are never taught: how to protect what they have built. No appointment, purchase, or eligibility screening is required at the door—everyone is welcome to walk in and learn.

The day features rolling classes, taught in plain English and repeated throughout the day so families can come and go:

• Where There’s a Will — What a will actually does, why dying without one can leave a family in the hands of the courts, and how to start one.
• Keeping the House in the Family — How families lose homes and land held for generations, and the basic paperwork that can help prevent it.
• Your Wishes, Your Voice — Advance directives and health care proxies, so families do not have to guess.
• When the Time Comes — A practical, unhurried guide to the steps a family faces after a loss.

In the Legacy Clinic, Grant Legacy attorneys sit down one-on-one with anyone who wants to begin a will or directive—walking them through the paperwork, answering questions, and sending them home with their documents started and a clear next step. Free, with no strings attached.

Every family leaves with a free Legacy Toolkit: a workbook to continue the same planning at their own kitchen table.

A children’s area with free, supervised activities means no parent is turned away for lack of childcare. A shaded garden with cold drinks and light food keeps families comfortable in the Valley heat.

At midday, Lila announces the Legacy Academy Fund: free will-drafting assistance for Sacramento families earning below the area median, with no application fee and no catch.

“My daddy preached that knowledge is the one inheritance nobody can repossess,” she tells the crowd. “Today we’re handing it out for free.”

She closes from the steps:

“A legacy isn’t just what you leave behind. It’s what you make sure no one can take away.”
